This is interesting. From what he said and what the screen shows this might put all those brothers out of business who make computer programs to schedule the various meetings and duties. (A long time ago I made a program for the TMS - think DOS for how long ago.)
If so, then, the database is going to have to keep far more information than just 'name, rank, and serial number.' It will have to have fields/tables for whether one is an elder, ms, pioneer, etc.
the watchtower, november 1, 1922, pp.332-337.
do you believe that the king of glory is present, and has been since 1874?… this is the day of all days.
behold, the king reigns!
Hi Vanderhoven7,
On that first quote, I recognize the "Advertise . . ." part, but did not realize the quote included "1874" as part of it. The WT never quotes the 1874 part when they quote the "advertise, advertise, advertise" part.
Thanks for the list of 'famous last words.'
just joking i really don't think so...but the situation in syria is pretty worrisome...just hearing the news that france and great britain are attacking with cruise missiles in 72 hours.
i mean assad is not gonna gasify his adversaries when he almost won the civil war.
trump too suspended a very important trip to the latinoamerican presidents summit in peru, just to 'oversee the american response to syria.
To me, what will be really interesting is what kind of defense Russia puts up for Syria against any sort of cruise missile and aerial assault. Russia has been claiming to have some very effective SAM and EW capability in place.
If there was an assault against Syria and suppose Russia effectively blunted it, there could be a significant shift in how the world views Russia vis-a-vis the West, and especially the US. On the other hand, if the strike was effective, Putin's claims about his new weapons systems (and thus his reputation) would take a hit.
Of course, the possibility of some sort of escalation between the West and Russia is also worrisome.
in view of the recent jw broadcast warning about "rumours", i wanted to verify what has repeatedly been spouted by a certain am3:.
"i saw bodies resembling human hotdogs" (or words to that effect).
i have no idea where to begin, so perhaps some of you across the pond in usa may know some useful search tools?

now that the talks for this summer's conventions are available online i read through them and they could have been written in the early 70's...same thing no changes.. talk #50 "future events will require courage - the final test" illustrates how jdubs have lost so many brain cells by studying the watchtower and going to meetings that they will not even think about the reasonableness of what the speaker will be saying....they will just be a crowd of bobbleheads.. the outline says "at the end of christ's thousand year reign, satan will be released "for a little while".
the devil will convince some perfect humans to rebel.
" my question is how many is some?
Thank you Sour Grapes.

Is there a link to them? (the outlines) I'd like to take a gander. Thanks in advance.
in the famous verse from mathew chapter 1 verse 23 i believe the writer proclaims that mary a virgin was going to give birth to a son he would be called emmanuel.
he even stated this was to fulfill a prophecy.
thats prophecy is in isaiah chapter 7:14. .
Hi Cg,
Here is a post I made on another site where I included comments about Mt 1;23 from the NICNT-Matthew commentary. Look a little ways down in the post where Matthew 1:23 is cited for the part that is pertinent to that verse.
Hope your Saturday has been good. I'm sitting here and watching a documentary on Hitler and WWII on NGTV.
ok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.
but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.
supposing i was to attend a judicial committee and i explained up front that i would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table.
then there was family day which had an enormous turnout, with guests getting live entertainment, dancing and a dj.
they said that next time they'll cut back and not invite guests.. .
.
And what's the difference between "Family Day" and "Mother's Day" or "Father's Day" or one's birthday?
i had the meeting yesterday and there it was announced that there will be a new law passed in spain regarding personal data.
that law makes it compulsory for the wt spanish branch to collect a signed permission from the publishers to keep and utilize personal data.
no choice was given to us, we were just told to make sure we hand in our signed permissions before may 18th.
Think of all the leaked WT classified information that has come out just on this site, or the leaked pedophile information that has gotten into the hands of lawyers. Do you really trust the WT to keep your information secure? And you would have to trust, not just the WT corporation, but everyone at Bethel who has access to that information.
IMO, it would be far safer to think about it for a while. You can always give your permission later (than May 18th), just as you can also cancel your permission later. But once they have your info you can only trust that they will delete it.
That's my opinion anyways. ("No choice was given . . ." - Sounds like the elders are in a bind between what the WT wants and being fair with people. This is their way of solving that problem.)
